The concept of coliving is making headlines and gaining considerable popularity, especially among the modern generations who seek to spread their wings and fly. Outlined below are the reasons why you ought to consider being a part of such a thriving community in Singapore which prides itself on being inclusive while at the same time appreciating each other’s unique differences.
In essence, coliving serves as the perfect platform on which you will meet and mingle with like-minded individuals, regardless of whether you’re just out of college or a solo digital nomad looking to take on all the challenges the world sends your way. More importantly, you will forge new relationships, develop a sound understanding of how people think and act and with time and patience, begin to embrace being a valued member of a community that creates a sense of belonging for all those curious and bold enough to take that leap of faith.
To some, the thought of looming monthly budgets, doing the laundry and shopping for groceries may feel like a ton of bricks on their shoulders. However, when you invest in coliving, you will soon understand that you can live far more conveniently with not too many things to worry your mind over. For starters, the space that you choose to rent out will be fully furnished which will inform you that you can live light which in turn puts to bed the issue of carrying baggage to your new home in Singapore. What’s more? Your rent will cover the costs of basic utilities, housekeeping and Wi-Fi access and therefore, you will not need to invest time arranging for the same. Further, in the event you encounter a need for repairs or maintenance, a property manager will be available on call to speak with you to address any shortcomings or reservations that you may have.
Based on the fact that a majority of coliving units are modern, stylish and well-equipped to cater to a cross-section of wants and needs, prospective tenants like yourself will be in an excellent position to pick a living arrangement which is comfortable and accommodating. On the back of being able to access and take pleasure in an air-conditioned unit, stocked with a host of facilities and amenities and with regular housekeeping to look forward to, you can focus your energies and attention on acclimatizing to a way of life that will see you attending to work in the morning over a cuppa coffee and heading out at dusk with your new-found friends to absorb an atmosphere unlike any other in Southeast Asia.
Renting out a coliving space will be easier on your finances when compared with an entire condo or apartment. Under the mentioned concept, you will only be paying for a bedroom but still enjoy the ease of access to a slew of condo facilities. If you were to opt for a fully-furnished apartment space, then you would have to make allowance for not just the rent but for additional services in the likes of internet, utilities and cleaning which can certainly throw a spanner in the works for you if you’re a busy digital nomad or an expat who needs his or her fullest focus in pitching that business idea.
Before you arrive at an informed decision, it is prudent to conduct your own research on local service providers and should you meet a coliving operator who utilises a mobile communication application, then waste no time in making a connection. Understand that with such facilitators, you will be well served at all times owing to the fact that you will be able to communicate easier and faster. Further, the mobile app may afford you the ease of paying your rent, extending your lease agreement and notifying your landlord of any issues that you might be facing.
